Looking for a list of low carb snacks to give you some ideas? This list will be frequently updated as I come across more snack ideas that work for low carb diets, gestational diabetes and diabetic diets. Since most of us don’t have time or the inclination to cook elaborate snacks, most of these can be thrown together in a matter of a few minutes. If the snack item on the list requires a recipe, the name of the snack will link to its corresponding recipe.

Carb counts next to each item will need to be verified with your own brands, but this gives you a good estimate for each snack.

Low Carb Snacks on the Go

With reusable containers, nearly all of your home snacks can become portable. Whenever we’re out and about, I pack a small cooler filled with all the things I’m sure we can’t live without.

1/2C honey roasted peanuts 16g

Clif Crunch granola bars (most hover in the mid 20g range, which is borderline but oh so tasty)

Health Warrior Chia Bars 13-14g (woohoo!)

Low Carb Snacks under 100 Calories

When you just don’t want to think about your snack, the 100 calorie packs are a great option. These are also excellent low carb snacks on the go since you can just pop them in your lunch box and head to work or school.

Low Sugar Low Carb Snacks

There are a ton of low carb low sugar options at any grocery store, but I’m personally very leery of using many of the sugar substitutes. Do your research and use what you’re comfortable with. Here are a few of the more common snacks available.

Sugar free pudding cups – Jell-o makes great chocolate, chocolate/vanilla and some mixes such as banana cream and bavarian cream, all under 15g carbs

I find the items listed under Low Carb Snacks under 100 Calories to be quite worthless. Personally, I would not waste 100 calories on any of these empty calorie items. I would recommend we find things of nutritional value to consume.

Agree completely with Lindsey. I am shocked at these lists! These are not low carb options at all and even those that are somewhat lower carb choices are just plain garbage foods with hardly any nutritional value or fibre.
